And then you land out before arriving at the airfield! I cannot
understand why people ever set finish rings at a height which isn't
sufficient to ensure a comfortable arrival at the airfield.

Looks reasonable to me: just set a small finish ring, say with a radius
equal to the distance from the airfield TP to the high key point for the
run being used on that day and ring height to what the destructors like
as high key height. That should be pretty close to putting you at the
start of what amounts to a text-book approach.

I'd try it myself, provided there's another flying day hiding amidst the
current rain and wind. However, although LK8000 7.0 allows a finish ring
to be specified, it doesn't allow a finish height to be input.

I feel a change request coming on....
